The ma?a ditTerenee that - presentsitself at the present time between thso called supporters of Mr. Johnson'spolicy and the original and steadfastUnion men of the land is in regard tothe basis of representation upon whichthe States lately in rebellion shall assume their position intheUnion Thereis no desire on the part of the greatUnion party of the United States tokeep these. States out from reprere-sentatio- n

in Congress longer than, isabsolutely pecessary for the safety o

the goveri mem ; but we do say thatthey should not, as a- reward for theirperfidity, be given increased powers in

the government over" what they 'ha:previous to the rebellion, and increasedpowers over the States which wereloyal to tbe general government in thehour of need. The great Union partysays that a loyal. laborer in the northshould have an' equal voice in thisgovernment with a disloyal aristocratof the South. We claim this not onlyas a matter if justice, but as a measure of necessfry for the preservationof the goverumont. The Union partydoes not demand that strict justice according to law shall be meted nut to

the late rebels, but only demand thatthey shall not be rewarded for theirtreason by given them greater powersin th government than are ajlowed to

those who who were faithful and loyaldurirjrr the war. We are unable to seethe injustice done the menoflhe Southby this demand, unless it be because of

giving them even an equalavoice, andthus encouraging them in another at- -

temp to overthrow the government by

saying to them that they have donenothing deserving punishment. As we

said before, this question of represen-tation Is the main one between the two

parties, call it by what name you will ;

and we cannot conceive how it is pos

sible ffrr ny man who believed ihe rebellion to be wrong to

a advocate givingihe laterebels (and in fact most ofthem are as great rebelf at heart yet,and only wail a favorable opportunityto put their belief in practice,) morepower in the government than loyalmen have- - It is certainly no injualrceto say that a million white voters in

the north shall have the tame repre-

sentation in Congress that ' a millionwhite voters in the south have andthat is exactly what the Union partydemands. We hold that a northernloyalist is as good as a southern rebel,aud we believe such will be the peo-

ple's verdict this fall, ' A.' Johnson and

his bread-and-butte- r party to the con-

trary notwithstanding.

8ALT MANUFACTURE.We learn from parties just in from

Salt Basins, says the Nebraska CiiyPress, that. Gregory tSc Co are makingrapid progress in setting up their ar-

rangements for the manufacture of

Salt. They have a good steam sawmill in operation, cutting lumber - withwhich to build houses and make , vatsfor the evaporation of salt water.They have already a number 'of vatscomposed of various kinds of materialand are increasing the number as rap-

idly a possible. They expect to havein operation by the first of May next.foar hundred vats. This company hasconsiderable capital, and propose 'todrive the businessTTrora this date, andexpect to manufacture salt at a net costof twenty-fiv- e cents per hundred poundsThis will enable them', to put a periodto shipping salt to any point on the up-

per Missouri, at ; an" early day. We

are pleased to note this progress indeveloping the riches of - Nebraska,and trust ihe investment will provehighly remunerative to the enterprisingcompany., .

gSST" A dispatch to the New.YorlrWorld from Saratoga, July 26tb, says:"A telegram was received at the UnionHotel to night closing the sale of a coltof the bay mare Pocahontas, for S40,-00- 0.

Robert Bonner wi the purchas-er, and J. Bardwell the seller. .Thefigure is considered rather high by thehorse fanciers here."

It is supposed that the reasonFernando' Wood and Vallandighainasked to stay out of the PhiladelphiaConvention is thar they neglected tofight for the rebel cause as well as talkand write for it. Then they wouldhave been admitted to seats with Ran-dall, Ord; Dick Taylor," Dooliule.' Al-

bert Pike, awl other Johnson Unioni men. -

LOYAL MES' MUST RULE.,The issue made by-t-he Democracy

is plainand admits no shadow of doubt.It is whether loyal or disloyal menshall govern the country. The' Democracy, assisted by the influence andpower of the President, demands thatthe government shall be placed in' thehands of the rebels, while Congressand the loyal people demand that Unionmen shall be the main element in thegovernment. , There is no half-wa- y

ground any more than there was. during the war. "He that is not for us is

against as.. . He that does not say thatloyal men shall rule, 'must say thatrebels aball rule. The Republicanparty say that' they ' believe the gov- -

ernment as safe in the bauds of menwhose loyalty is known as it would bein the hands of those whose disloyaltyis beyond question. This is bound tobe the issue in the coming campaign,and we call upon the true men in Casscounty, to come up boldly ' to the work.In the convention which assembles atBrownville on the 6th of September,let there be none who desire to assumean equivocal position. Let Cass countysend delegates who are neither ashamed or afraid to come out on the side ofthe loyal people and the Union soldiers.Send men who are not ashamed to say.openly, that they hive more confidencein the men who', fought four years tomaintain our government than theyhave in those who fought the sameength of time to destroy it.

. I RO.H THE WEST..We have a private letter from John

Allinson, Esq'.', a well kuown residentof this city, dated "Camp on CrazyWoman's Fork of Powder River, August 2d, 1866," from which we makethe following extracts:

"On the 22d nit.. M... Cheney andone of his men were killed by Indians',and others of the company wounded.fhe Indians attacked Tootle & Leache'strain on the 25th, and tilled the wagonmaster, Tom. Dillon, but did not sue-- ,

ceed in capturing any of the Mock.

On the 24th they attacked the trainwith which we afterwards traveled.One man from Missouri, ty the nameof ; Floyd, went to look for water, anddid not came back. They were beginning to' get unea?y about him, whenthe red rascals made a dah into tbeorral and run off" some horses and

mules. The herd was 1 1-- 2 miles fromBrown's Springs. They killed threeoxen, and badly wounded one man.Everything, so far. has been done by

surpns8. A party of 12 men, armed withlenry and Spencer's rifles, and re

volvers, went down lo Dry Fork of

Cheyenne, and when-returni- ng 'weresurrounded and 7 of the number' killed

tid 4 wounded only one man escaping unhuft. The next day a party of

us went out and picked up five bodies.nd found the body of Floyd, the head

cut off and body full of arrows.' Ifound the head some distauce down thehill from where the ' body was. Thenext day we buried the other two bodies;one of t.bem was that of Mr. Barton,

of Council Bluffs. iOn the North Forkof Wind Creek we found two Sbesvery much decomposed, 'tne breaststill of arrows. .

vFrom Fort Reno to the new, Forton the Pioey. wa have to travel in a

vast train of 250 wagons, Reno is garrisoned with 70 men. The Indiansdashed into the post and run off fifteenhead of stock. We have been re-

markably fortunate so far, as not a man

out of the outfit that started from Plaits- -

mouth has been hurt."The roads and grass are good,

W a 1 I

water very scarce . it is nig, oig. aittheimt. There are 150 wagons wait-

ing at the new Fort ror;us I thinksuch a large body, will not be disturbed.This road. I. think, will be . the maintraveled one', but it is a bloody one.Whoever comes' this way had bettercome prepared tocut their way thro'."

' 3FWhat are you thinking, myman?'' said Lord Hill, tis he approach-ed a soldier who 'was' leaning in agloomy mood upon his firelock, whilearound him lay mangled, thousand ofFrench and English ; it was a fewhours after, the battle of Salamancahad been won by the . English. Tbesoldier started, and after saluting hisGeneral, answered :"i "I was thinkingmy Lord how many widows - and or-

phans I have this day made 'for 'oneshilliugV He had fired. 200 rounds ofbail that day.
